Direct Physical Characterization of the PRRSV Virion
July 12, 2006By Michael Murtaugh
We have established that PRRSV-infected cells produce only one form (density) of virus and that it accounts for all of the infectivity. The virion is comprised of nucleocapsid at least 5 proteins....

Porcine adenovirus 3 based vaccine for porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome (PRRS)
April 17, 2006By Dr. Suresh K. Tikoo
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus imposes devastating effects on swine health and productivity. In the U.S., PRRS virus causes approximately $560 million in losses each year....

An assessment of 3 sanitation protocols for PRRSV-positive transport vehicles
April 4, 2006By Scott Dee
Transport is a risk factor for the spread of PRRSV between farms. To reduce this risk, several sanitation protocols have been scientifically validated. Based on these results, producers now have...

Emerging European-like PRRSV in the U.S.: Implications for diagnostic and control strategies
March 1, 2006By Eric A. Nelson
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus exists as two major genotypes, designated as Type 1 (European-like) and Type 2 (North American-like). The role and significance of...

Interaction of PRRSV and Porcine Dendritic Cells: Potential Role in Viral Persistence
February 10, 2006By Randy Sacco
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) may persist in tissues of pigs for months. How the virus persists in certain pigs remains to be determined. It is possible that a subset of...

Macrophage cell-lines for in vitro propagation of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
February 9, 2006By Subramaniam Srikumaran
Vaccination of pigs against PRRSV is the most prudent and logical way of controlling this economically important disease. Production of vaccines requires large scale propagation of PRRSV in the...

Development of a Killed Subunit PRRS Vaccine
February 7, 2006By D.L. Hank Harris
The focus of our research funded by the National Pork Board was to develop second generation killed PRRS vaccines. The portion of the PRRS virus responsible for stimulating the neutralizing immune...

Construction of Dynamic Aerosol Toroid Chambers
January 18, 2006By Jeffrey Zimmerman
PRRSV costs the US swine industry 560 million dollars each year in lost productivity. We can now successfully eliminate PRRSV from individual farms, but we cannot keep herds from becoming...
